Abstract

Granulosa cell tumor is a rare ovarian neoplasm. It's indolent growth leads to large tumor at time of diagnosis. It is characterized by variable and long interval to recurrence in pelvic and peritoneal cavities, but solitary retroperitoneal recurrence is very rare. At laparotomy, a 52-years-old woman was found to have an oval shaped cystic tumor near left renal hilar region. Ten years ago, she had total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy due to left ovarian granulosa cell tumor. Histological features of the retroperitoneal tumor were granulosa cell tumor. We report a rare case of solitary retroperitoneal recurrence of granulosa cell tumor with a review of relevant literatures.
